Normally I have to use up most of my guns to get a kill; two planes flamed in a row with ammo spare to go for a third was beyond belief!

Pity I overshot that 109 and lost sight of him in the dog fight! I guess he used one of the 109's historical advantages and had the 'will' to disengage with impunity!

Nice tip, will try. Makes sense I guess since I often miss my ideal convergence window by a little.

My most exciting moment? First time online! I'd recommend anyone who hasn't been online yet to dip a toe in - just have a go. Also, make sure you get teamspeak 3 even if you just listen in at first.

Flying on the ATAG server i took a bullet in the engine when attacking a He111- i had to deadstick land at the base that was 11,000 feet directly below me. I screamed down in a tight spiral dive and suddenly saw a 109 and got hits on him as i screamed past. I kept heading down and sideslipped sharply to slowdown for the landing. Just as i straightened to flare for landing a bomb went straight past my cockpit, just about crashing into my lap, then 'pop, pop, pop' as cannon shells exploded near me and i heard a 109 roar past me from my six. I skidded to a halt and got out of the plane as quickly as i could- using my considerable experience as Luftwaffe bait i considered myself to be in danger.

I have no idea where the bomb came from nor if the 109 i buzzed followed me down- i was beyond caring!

I was flying on the ATAG server and saw a axis bomber taking out a heap of ships. I was flying up behind him and watching the bombs hitting the ships. I was friggin amazed when the bombs went off and I saw all the bit and pieces fly up in the air with the explosions. Amazing details.

After filling up the bomber with all my ammo I decided to fly next to him and slowly moved my Spitfire over until my wing tip was over his. I knocked his wing tip and, amazingly, took his wing off, which caused him to crash into the ocean. My wing was all good so I landed safely.

Amazing detail in the ship explosions and a pretty cool move to take out the bomber. Sometimes I get frustrated with this sim but other times I am just amazed at the detail.

Amen.

I was stunned when I pressed the brake lever in the Blenheim and I could actually see the Bowden cable attached to the lever. Then I was doubly impressed when I saw the pneumatic gauge flick upwards at the same time.

Then I wondered why the prop pitch lever wasn't animated at all and I had to remember where I'd last put it.

Strange combination of good and not so good, but I'll take it for now!

Hey Dutch, I know what you mean, but as a matter of fact, prop pitch levers are animated - they're are just behind your left elbow (well hidden I know

Those are definitely going to be more interesting... And that was not due to my own attributes.
